RE Amemiya's 2020 Tokyo Auto Show Car
Mr Amemiya built an Sa22C for the Tokyo Auto Show this year, and it won an award. Its pretty neat that such a big tuner would build an SA22 in 2020.
All the pics come from Amemiya's blog http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/diary/ which is really fun, or option magazine the other car is a Lotus Europa, with a 3 rotor, who cars about that eh? https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cd03d71c32.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...be9efb9457.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7882f277c6.jpg |
The 2020 car is kind of a homage to the speed record car he built in the 90's

They start about July 2019 give or take, the blog posts sometimes come behind reality, especially if they are busy getting ready for the TAS.
starts with the engine core, which is bad https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...961654e633.jpg |
Second is the Exhaust, which google translates as Octopus foot, which is hilarious. They seem to use a medium length header, muffler is BIG
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...597ecdb17d.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ebe2d66e74.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7a7902d9a5.jpg |
Then he put Poly Bushings in the rear links (!) they do not say what suspension is under the car, if its really stiff, poly could work.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...06ddf7246b.jpg then he got seats, Bride, https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e05dface5d.jpg and then wheels https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...faa317d2a3.jpg |
then they mocked up the body kit, in a cake :P
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e9b626e426.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2f7b3f5fb3.jpg |
Nice find and info. Thanks for sharing. The car looks great!
|
His blog is fun to look through and google translate does a decent job on it too!
|
but wait there is more! less build pics on this than some of the other cars, but there are some. it is also a little confusing because he's working on three 1st gens, including the ex-lemans 254i
engine gets built, no word on what it is, but i would imagine its a street port at least https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e45fead625.jpg then the body takes shape https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...153acebe09.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a7b1543fa1.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c1711c05d5.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...720fef0f11.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...85d33c40b3.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7373ed88b9.jpg |

even more! i really like the interior, its so clean
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...70dd4c5c26.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8dda2b815f.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d80cc334e6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2e78f78905.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c7dc9b2f85.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5d49926c5e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7958fb1288.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...226fbeef63.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8d79d4cd33.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...102f1996ff.jpg |
You're right the interior is clean. Any idea where we can get the side mirrors at?
|
I like the OEM radiator and visc fan and that the turbo of the Sa22c GTX must be gone.

those are just the regular Re Amemiya mirrors, but either in carbon or with stickers. if you can write an email in Japanese it could probably be arranged

This is my favorite picture. I like the filler panel around the exhaust and wow, Look at those hips! |
|
I just noticed it's still got an OMP. Looks like a 4 one nozzle tee'd to 2 going into the rotor housings.
It doesn't sound that aggressive in the video, the article says it makes 240hp and has RX-8 rotors. |
here is an oldie but a goodie,
i have the magazine article, but this is quicker, very basic car, its bridge port, 231ps |
|
another one
|
and that one's subtitled!
It was pretty docile when NOB was driving it around town. They just called it a "side port" but with 230ps, I'm guessing that's their word for "street port". I also find it interesting that the OMP is retained on Japanese builds. |
i really like that car, except for the crazy fenders its pretty simple, and it seems like its fun and comfortable.
